Clayton Kershaw Scheduled To Pitch Saturday
1 year agoLos Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) finished up a bullpen session on Tuesday, and the plan is for him to start on Saturday in Seattle against the Mariners. Due to ongoing issues with his left shoulder, the Dodgers skipped Kershaw's last turn in the starting rotation to give him some extra rest. The team continues to say that the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer won't make another trip to the injured list, but Kershaw is most likely going to have to pitch through his shoulder issues for the rest of the year. He still has a tidy 2.61 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 123 K's in 117 1/3 innings over 21 starts this year, but his shoulder issue has contributed to a loss of control and drop in velocity. Kershaw has walked eight hitters with eight strikeouts over 10 innings in his last two starts.
